Luis Inacio de Algarve

Don Luis Inacio de Algarve (16 August 1611-26 September 1653) was an Admiral of the Portuguese Navy and a nobleman from the Algarves.

Biography
Don Luis Inacio de Algarve was born in Algarves in the city of Almeira, and became an admiral in the Portuguese Navy in 1639. He commanded a force of 6 ships from his man-of-war "Principe de Galicia", and fought against the United Provinces during the Dutch-Portuguese War. Algarve sunk the pirate ship "Windward", captained by Niel Roeterink off the Ivory Coast, so Roeterink hunted him down.

Death
Algarve's ship "Principe", a powerful man-of-war, was attacked off the coast of Senegal by Roeterink, whose cannons disabled Algarve's ship. Roeterink proceeded to board it, and Algarve was captured. He was hung from his yardarm, and was shot many times while hanging.
